yeah, probably. But this split is what a good media company needs at any point in time on any issue. Otherwise it's just one-sided drivel.

No it's not. They are merely two data points. Look at Germany. I guarantee you Merkel is going to be reelected next year. Okay, the AFD is going to gain some power but it is outright impossible for them to win the election. But this i

spot on! In the end I (a German) was watching Fox News! Can you believe it? I know they have their own bias but this one time they were doing a somewhat better job.

Or enjoy a cup of sencha or gyokuro which comes with caffeine and L-Theanine. It is a lovely combination indeed. :)

Korg has to be my favorite synthesizer company atm. They really hit the sweet spot of great aesthetics and usability. The sound is, of course, a matter of taste. The monologue is more mid-rangy than you'd expect from an analogue synth

What I mean is: If I would pick up Arduino now I'd fail to make rapid progress. Over the years it became harder and harder for me to just innocently interact with a new domain. I've acquired so many mental frameworks that clutter

Probably even quicker than an adult from my point of view. But then again, computers were much simpler in my childhood days. As an aside: It still bugs me that I don't have anymore access to this kind of fearless, joyfull learning tod

This is an important question. Maybe universities could play a key role as far as hosting is concerned. Anyhow, imo this question is not the most pressing one. If there is a will, there is a way. However, there is no will! The average perso

And this is what I find worrying concerning the time we are living in. Society by and large moved from rejecting science to demanding scientific studies on everything. While this has certainly been a move in the right direction it led many

My thesis is that procrastination comes from cognitive dissonances. And that's the reason, why I don't understand these articles. They make a "science" out of something rather simple. The reason I (as a hobbyist) "c

On a related note: I find it sad that Mozilla hide the button for rss subscriptions in recent Firefox versions. You can restore it when you customize your toolbar (i.e. leftclick in the tab area -> customize ...) but that prevents people

Because actually people are neither. I am getting tired of people putting themselves or others into a certain box because this causes a lot of trouble in forms of limiting beliefs. Categorizing people is like trying to square the circle. Yo

All very true but what I meant to say (but didn't actually articulate) is that when you apply GTD it becomes clear that you need priorities. Let's say you are well versed in a new technology that is quickly gaining popularity. Now
